Posts must be related to Plex and Plex-related products, apps. etc. Try to keep comments relevant to the parent comment and to the post.


Rule 4 - Keep discussions of "media aqcuistion" limited to means and methods only.

Discussions regarding media acquisition should be limited to the "how" not the "what", as this is not the place to discuss piracy of specific media. There are other communities for that, and we don't want to get this community defederated from instances where it's a forbidden topic. Posts/comments discussing specific acts of piracy ("How do I find X show?" or "Where can I download Y film?")will be removed. For further clarification see this post

Is there a way to automatically create a playlist of more than 2 shows in broadcast order.

For instance, shows like Stargate (or I think Arrow/Flash/Supergirl) have alternating episodes. I really don't want to do it by hand; my Stargate playlist will have over 300 items.

Plex meta manager can import custom playlists, and can do about 15 other things

That sounds good, can you elaborate a bit more please?

There's a bit of a learning curve on this one, and a lot of reading to do, but when you understand it how to use it, you can automate a lot of annoying tasks.

With a playlist builder, you can use trakt lists, or a few other kinds of lists, and PMM will import it into Plex. I share some of my configs with you, but there are also some configs in here

Feel free to ask any questions about it, they also have a discord.
